Running on a Remote Machine

Windows Application Driver can run remotely on any Windows 10 machine with WinAppDriver.exe installed and running. This test machine can then serve any JSON wire protocol commands coming from the test runner remotely through the network. Below are the steps to the one-time setup for the test machine to receive inbound requests:

  1. On the test machine you want to run the test application on, open up Windows Firewall with Advanced Security

    • Select Inbound Rules -> New Rule...
    • Rule Type -> Port
    • Select TCP
    • Choose specific local port (4723 is WinAppDriver standard)
    • Action -> Allow the connection
    • Profile -> select all
    • Name -> optional, choose name for rule (e.g. WinAppDriver remote).

    Below command when run in admin command prompt gives same result

    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="WinAppDriver remote" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=4723

  2. Run ipconfig.exe to determine your machine's local IP address

    Note: Setting * as the IP address command line option will cause it to bind to all bound IP addresses on the machine

  3. Run WinAppDriver.exe 10.X.X.10 4723/wd/hub as administrator with command line arguments as seen above specifying local IP and port

  4. On the test runner machine where the runner and scripts are, update the test script to point to the IP of the remote test machine

Sample Java Example:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("app", "Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App");
CalculatorSession = (WindowsDriver)(new WindowsDriver(new URL("http://10.X.X.52:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities));
CalculatorSession.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
CalculatorResult = CalculatorSession.findElementByAccessibilityId("CalculatorResults");
